JOHN WIESE'S FIRST 100 RECORDS
Feature: 9.3
Music
One of the first noise records I ever owned was a split seven-inch by John Wiese and Panicsville. The music was so strange and new to me, yet familiar in some way. It was so punk. Not in the old sense of punk music, it was a new form of punk. It took this idea of being different and unique and really tried to go all the way with it. The music implied that you don’t need guitars, you don’t need drums or bass, vocals, or even verses and choruses. It was a door to this mysterious new world of sounds, a whole new idea on what music is, and what music can be. The sounds were harsh, but refreshing and new.
